Our team provides counsel uniquely tailored to the corporate governance and compliance needs of our clients. Our experienced attorneys listen closely to our clients' goals and expectations and advise on the most effective strategies to avoid, minimize, solve, and prevent problems.
Our corporate governance attorneys represent individual executives, boards of directors, and board committee members with respect to their fiduciary responsibilities. We help clients avoid costly operational disruptions, regulatory and law enforcement investigations, and civil and criminal penalties by working with them to develop and implement an effective compliance plan. In the event of adverse findings, we act quickly to curtail and solve problems.
Our comprehensive, cross-team approach includes attorneys from our corporate, litigation, regulatory, and executive compensation practices. Together, we provide necessary counseling regarding the governance of public companies and the continually developing responsibilities of their directors and senior management. We advise our corporate clients on developing and implementing integrated, customized compliance and ethics programs and establishing policies that address issues arising under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related securities laws.
Businesses across a range of industries are also increasingly turning to our team for advice on the myriad of business and legal implications connected with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. Our attorneys closely track SEC and Federal Trade Commission regulations and policies relating to ESG to better advise clients on reporting requirements and their implications. We also understand that ESG is not just driven by regulatory requirements, but also by the demands of client's stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers, and communities. We understand these drivers and can help develop strategies for enacting policies and programs to implement ESG strategies.
In our corporate governance practice, we counsel clients on a wide range of governance issues, including:
